I'm looking for a free tabbed broweser shell for IE that does not
require an installer - just a stand-alone EXE. I don't have install
rights on my work PC but I REALLY need a tabbed browser.

Any suggestions?
 
Thanks. I'll give that a try, but I was hoping for something that was a
single executable.

OffByOne. Not a shell though, tiny, stand alone browser. You can even
run it from a CD or a zip on a floppy.

Ask your supervisor if he can install the software for you. He may be able
to temporarily give you install rights and then remove those rights after
your program is installed and configured. If you have good relationship with
your boss, it's worth asking.

I don't think your boss will like that. Even a no installer IE shell
is likely to leave files elsewhere on the hd, and will certainly leave
entries all over the registry.

"No-install" means a standalone exe file that doesn't touch the
registry or leave dlls in the Windows tree. (It may have a dll or two
in its own directory.)

Try Scope, it's an old program (2001) but it's a tabbed browser
with a stand alone exe. I use it when I am working on someone
else's computer and I need a tabbed browser.

I just tried the download link and it was not working, so if you
cannot download it send me an email and I will email it to you.

I totally agree with this your definition.

In this NG though, and IIRC in the PL descriptions too, there are many apps
called "no-install" because come with a .zip file and don't have an install
file, but actually leave a whole bunch of entries in the registry.

Considering this (IMO) wrong meaning, the S.O. Meone's note is useful.

Agreed, even 'no install' browsers leave visited URL's in the HISTORY
folder, and leave traces in TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES .... as well as

IMO greater *clarity* is achieved by using two terms instead of one. The
ACF/PL descriptions note both "no-install" and "no registry entries".
There are some apps that have an install routine but make no entries in
the registry - using two terms makes it easier to find those "portable"
apps.

This is a great idea. :-D
I didn't remember the "n.r." entries in the ACF/PL descriptions, my bad!
